Out-performing our competitors by providing reliable, value-added, individualized home watch and property protection services.

Weekly service most properties $99 monthly.

Save time and money with a choice of regularly-scheduled services on a contract basis or fee for service, as-needed assistance.  Whether you rent your beach home through a service like VRBO, loan it to friends and relatives occasionally or never rent it, we keep an experienced eye on your valuable investment and help you solve all the problems associated with being an out of town owner or a part-time local resident.  We can design a custom service package to fit your individual needs, or you can choose a standard weekly service. 30A Home Services will also serve as a contact for local authorities and will arrange emergency repairs per your instructions.

Standard service packages include the following:

Remove trash, fliers, phone books, etc.

Identify any potential drainage or moisture problems, irrigation or landscaping issues, leaky hoses or outside shower, freeze-susceptible outdoor plumbing, trip and fall hazards, exterior mold and dirt, etc.   Tip: Leaky hoses and outside showers can cost big money in water bills.

Visually inspect pool and contact pool service if needed.

Security check - doors, windows, security system, pool enclosure.

Lubricate door locks and slider tracks. Tip: Salt air and high coastal humidity quickly gum up locks.

Comprehensive indoor inspection and maintenance.

Thermostat settings, monthly filter change.

Twice yearly fresh batteries in smoke detectors.

Check fire extinguisher.

Plumbing - flush commodes, run faucets both hot and cold, check refrigerator, ice maker, hot water heater. Run dishwasher periodically, check operation of washer and dryer. Tip: Burst washer hoses are a common cause of disastrous flooding. Homeowners should replace old hoses with braided stainless steel hoses, replace all hoses every three to five years, and turn off the water to the washer when the home is unoccupied. 

Check circuit breakers and timers, light fixtures, replace bulbs as needed.

Inspect for pest invasions.

Check for visible mold or moisture and/or odors. Tip: Moisture and mold problems common in beach houses can often be detected by an odor that your guests might not report to you. These problems can start from cracked stucco, leaking windows and doors, design flaws, tropical storms, etc.

Emailed report with digital photos if appropriate.

Additional available services (reasonable trip/hourly charge applies) include scheduling and overseeing annual heat/a/c unit inspection and cleaning, tropical storm preparation, opening the home for repairpersons, insurance inspectors, etc. We also offer a variety of useful services that bridge the gap between expensive, full-service property management and independent vacation rentals by owner.
